Picture this: Alex Larenty, known for his incredible bond with wildlife, was recently seen pampering lions at the Lion & Safari Park in Broederstroom, South Africa. It’s a sight that could easily be mistaken for a magical moment from a Disney film.

He began this endeavor after observing the calming and contented effect a paw infection cream had on a lion.

However, Larenty highlights that this incredible interaction is a clear reflection of the deep trust he has built with the lions.

«Believe me, understanding what you’re doing is crucial, and our relationship has developed over the past six years. Jamu won’t just let anyone touch him the way I do,» he said.

«We have 75 lions here at the park and I know everyone by name. Jamu is a true star,» Larenty said with pride.
